Expand It would most likely be called "Space Force" though. The US Air Force currently controls practically all of US military space assets, and any Space Force would most likely be an offshoot of the Air Force. It will only be called "Spacy" if it is an offshoot of the Navy, which for the reason I wrote previously is unlikely. Quote

Expand "Special Forces" would have something to say about an official branch also shorthanded S.F., and I wouldn't want to tug on those manly, manly beards "US Space Command" was a thing once, before it got merged with STRATCOM. they may very well go with that. "Space Corps" is another possibility, which I love, because it opens the door for IRL Space Marines!!!! lol "Space Force" is predictable, boring and stereo-typically bureaucratic... it'll probably be that.

barurutor Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 So while looking for pictures of the Glaug firing its weapons i stumbled upon this: http://www.smh.com.au/national/education/vce-authorities-apologise-for-phantom-robot-20121119-29lbl.html Someone photoshopped the Glaug into a WWI-era photo which was then used in some history exams in Australia.

Saruta Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 Nora Polansky came calling, apparently. Russia is to train female fighter pilots. (Much to the chagrin of Klan fans the pilots are unlikely to be 8 meters tall). http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-40917550 Quote
grss1982 Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Does this link in an rt.com articlecount? I can't open the actual link though since I'm at work, but I'm guessing it's harmful one so not posting it. But if I'm not mistaken that looks like a VF-25 being compared to an F-22. LOL Edited September 4, 2017 by grss1982 Quote
Kelsain Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Isn't that a photo from one of our members? I can't recall who did it, but that's a painted & weathered Renewal DX. Quote

Xigfrid Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Zentradi faces genesis is happening now ! https://vimeo.com/aposema The funny part is that these masks are controlled by a few facial expressions (6), which could explain why Zentradis lost most of their emotions. Quote

Let's review this... SDF-1 floating above. Check.

camk4evr Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 You know what's really odd is that the ship is much clearer in the picture of the cover no3Ljm posted than the actual book cover I saw in the store. Quote
